Big and Small with Feelings

This preschool worksheet helps a child tell big from small with feelings. Two pictures appear at different sizes, and the child finds the bigger one. Comparing the two — is this happy, sad and surprised faces the big one or the small one? — is a quick, two-way size judgment a child sharpens by choosing the larger each time. The friendly pictures keep the comparing fun, and there is nothing to count.

Telling big from small is how a young child first weighs the world. Picking the bigger of two feelings asks a preschooler to set one size against another and decide — a direct, two-way judgment. That bigger-versus-smaller call is a child's first step toward thinking about more and less, and it grows sharper every time a child chooses the larger picture of the two.

Children feel clever spotting the bigger picture every time, and a finished big-and-small worksheet is a small win. When this is easy, compare the sizes in big and small with farm animals, or try big and small with furniture. You can also browse every big-and-small worksheet or the whole preschool collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more a child compares big and small, the surer their eye for size grows, one comparison at a time.
